Bangla-BUSTED!
The Chevrons pulled off a nerve-shredding, history-making three-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Sylhet on Wednesday, sealing their highest-ever run chase in Test cricket!
Chasing 174 runs, the boys in red looked to be cruising after a fiery 95-run opening stand, but Bangladesh fought back with quick wickets—turning a casual cruise into a heart-stopper.
Enter Wessly Madhevere (19*) and Richard Ngarava (4*)—cool heads under pressure, guiding the Chevrons home with ice in their veins and a boundary to seal the deal!
Zimbabwe 174/7 – Series lead 1-0 in the bag.
History made: This is Zimbabwe’s fourth overseas Test win ever, and their highest successful chase in red-ball cricket.
And where was the last one? You guessed it—Sylhet, 2018. There’s just something about this city!
Brian Bennett led with the bat, smashing a classy 54, but it was Blessing Muzarabani who turned the game into a personal highlight reel.
He bagged a brutal 9/122, including 6/72 in the second innings—the best Test match figures by a Zimbabwean in Bangladesh!
Oh, and no big deal—he also matched Heath Streak’s record for the fastest to 50 Test wickets (11 matches).
Big Blessing energy!
